Answer this question truthfully
### Question: Why Use the Formatting Below Including "Equal Signs" to Create Sections, Subsections, and Sub Sub Sections?
### Response: So that WikiDoc can automatically generate a table of contents for you. If you just use bold, an automatic table of contents will not be created.
What it looks like What you type Start your sections as follows: New section Subsection Sub-subsection Start with a second-level heading (==); don't use first-level headings (=). Don't skip levels (for example, second-level followed by fourth-level). A Table of Contents will automatically be added to an article that has four or more sections. If appropriate, place subsections in an appropriate order. If listing countries, place them in alphabetical order rather than, say, relative to population of OECD countries, or some random order. ==New section== ===Subsection=== ====Sub-subsection==== A single newline generally has no effect on the layout. These can be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. Some editors find that this aids editing and improves the function diff (used internally to compare different versions of a page). But an empty line starts a new paragraph. When used in a list, a newline does affect the layout (see below). A single newline generally has no effect on the layout. These can be used to separate sentences within a paragraph. Some editors find that this aids editing and improves the function''diff'' (used internally to compare different versions of a page). But an empty line starts a new paragraph. You can break lines without starting a new paragraph. Please use this sparingly. Close markup between lines, do not start a link or italics or bold on one line and close it on the next. You can break lines<br> without starting a new paragraph. It's easy to create a list: Start every line with a star (asterisk). More stars means deeper levels. A newline in a list marks the end of a list item. An empty line starts a new list. * It's easy to create a list: ** Start every line with a star. *** More stars means deeper levels. **** A newline in a list marks the end of a list item. * An empty line starts a new list. Numbered lists are also good very organized easy to follow easier still # Numbered lists are also good ## very organized ## easy to follow ### easier still Definition list list of definitions item the item's definition another item the other item's definition Begin with a semicolon. One item per line; a newline can appear before the colon, but using a space before the colon improves parsing.; Definition list: list of definitions; item: the item's definition; another item: the other item's definition You can even create mixed lists and nest them like this can I mix definition list as well? yes how? it's easy as a b c * You can even create mixed lists *# and nest them *#* like this *#*; can I mix definition list as well? *#*: yes *#*; how? *#*: it's easy as *#*:* a *#*:* b *#*:* c A colon indents a line or paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph. This is primarily for displayed material, but is also used for discussion on Talk pages.: A colon indents a line or paragraph. A manual newline starts a new paragraph. When there is a need for separating a block of text the blockquote command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does. This is useful for (as the name says) inserting blocks of quoted (and cited) text. <blockquote> The'''blockquote''' command will indent both margins when needed instead of the left margin only as the colon does. </blockquote> (See formula on right): This is useful for: pasting preformatted text; algorithm descriptions; program source code; ASCII art; chemical structures; WARNING: If you make it wide, you force the whole page to be wide and hence less readable, especially for people who use lower resolutions. Never start ordinary lines with spaces. IF a line starts with a space THEN it will be formatted exactly as typed; in a fixed-width font; lines will not wrap; ENDIF Centered text. Please note the American spelling of "center." <center>Centered text.</center> A horizontal dividing line: this is above it and this is below it. Mainly useful for disambiguation - but to be used sparsely, only when separating completely different, unrelated (groups of) meanings separating threads on Talk pages. A horizontal dividing line: this is above it ---- and this is below it.
